The Ilkley cyclist said he's been 'overwhelmed with kindness'
Mr Butcher said: “When I first flew out I remember saying goodbye to my wife and thinking ‘what have I let myself in for’.“I faced some of my toughest climbs whilst cycling at altitude through the desert, with nothing between the towns where I set off and arrived each day.Although this has been Mr Butcher’s biggest challenge yet, he has been raising money for charity for almost 20 years.
Mr Butcher said: “MS is a horrible condition, it is horrible to watch someone you love fight a battle that is unwinnable and know there is nothing you can do to help them. Mr Butcher said his mother has been following his journey over the past three months and said her support has been “incredible”.
